Description  Anecdote supplied by the author about Cosserat during the Mutiny of 1857-58: �Cosserat was at Lallseryiah when the 12th Irregular Cavalry mutinied and killed Colonel Holmes, his wife, and the Doctor and his wife (who were burnt in their bungalow), the only one escaping being the Doctor�s little child, saved by an ayah. Cosserat saw the regiment passing from Segowlie after they had committed this murder, but knew nothing of what had happened. It was strange they did not attack him, but they seemed in a great hurry; they were off to Delhi.� After the Mutiny of 1857-58, Cosserat �was made an Honorary Magistrate and held Kachery at a place still called Fauzdari Chakta.�    
Indexer  (1) An ayah was a children�s nurse, or a lady�s maid. (2) A bungalow was a thatched cottage of one floor, or any house standing apart on its own grounds. (3) Kachery, or Kacheri, was a court or public office.
